Month: March 2016

I want to thank you for just being out there. You both inspire me to keep going. I was looking at a picture of us in Disneyland today. This picture is on the chrome book that I take to a weekly meeting. In the picture, we are just “hanging out together” in the magical world…

Today, we had a behavior assembly. If the kids at our school are good all month, they get to go. This fella broke the Guiness Book of World Records for most hours dribbling a basketball: 26 hours. He’s a teacher in Arizona. Now, he does these cool exhibitions for the kids. He has met various…

Here’s the deal: since I did not make my original 20lbs, my contract is null and void. I can lose 20 lbs, get my tshirt and STOP (for a while). I’d still like to keep working out with weights (I love changing stations every few minutes. Who has time to complain – ugh, you’re onto…

It was cold today, wasn’t it? I got home and jumped into bed to try to warm up! I thought Spring had sprung? Today was a good day. The kids were glad to see me and I was glad to see them. Going to the gym in a little while. I’ve started carb cycling. What…

You can do what you want. You do not need my permission, or anyone else’s for that matter (despite what they may say). You don’t have to sit in school. You do it because you know, in the long run, it’s best for you. You don’t have to be kind to your sister, but hopefully,…

I’m sick of this challenge. I’m tired of not eating strawberries or bananas or romaine lettuce. I’m thinking of disqualifying myself – on purpose. If I do lose the weight, the contract I signed states (I’m going to double check this, though) that I must continue to lose weight until I get to my Body…

Did you know Grandma had aprons made for you? She has them hanging in her hall closet. I wore each of them for a little while yesterday. Grandma was worried my white dress would get dirty. Yes, I bought a white dress. And, you can see in the pictures that my body has shrunk quite…

I hope you liked my story and I hope you got a little sugar yesterday. I did not. I have been indulging in sugar substitute this round of my challenge and it just is not working with my body. I’ve still NOT lost anymore weight. In fact, I’m up a pound. It’s very frustrating to…

Dinner time came and the girls were told that the family was going to be having dinner on the beach next to a huge bonfire. Grandma wrapped the Easter ham up in loads of tin foil and put a meat thermometer through its meaty center. As Kris stacked the wood in the fire pit, Grandma…

The next morning, Grandma was up bright and early making pancakes and hard boiling eggs so the girls could decorate Easter eggs. “Good morning! Happy Easter!” said Grandma. “Happy Easter, Grandma. Good morning!” the girls said in unison. They all ate their bunny shaped pancakes. Then, they set to work making Easter eggs. They had…
